Abstract
Vispārīga informācija:Cilvēka papilomas vīruss (HPV) ir viens no visizplatītākā seksuāli transmisīvā slimība visā pasaulē. Infekcijas sekas var būt maksts, vulvas, dzemdes kakla, dzimumlocekļa, anālā rajona, mutes dobuma un rīkles vēzis, kā arī kārpas dzimumorgānu rajonā. Infekciju veicinošie faktori ir dzimumakts bez prezervatīva, liels dzimumpartneru skaits, agrīns pirmais dzimumakts un smēķēšana. Vissvarīgākais primārais profilakses pasākums ir vakcinācija pret HPV. Mērķis:Darba objektīvais mērķis ir novērtēt 15-25 gadi vecu cilvēku zināšanas un izpratni par HPV un atrast ietekmējošos faktorus, lai nākotnē radītu mērķtiecīgāku izskaidrošanu. Materiāli un metodes:200 dalībnieki aizpildīja anonīmu anketu uz Google veidlapas, laika posmā no 2021 gada novembra līdz 2022 gada februārim. Vērtēšanas kritēriji bija dalībnieku demogrāfiskie dati, kā arī viņu informētība par vīrusa pārnešanu, riska faktoriem un sekām. Pamatojoties uz to, tika izveidots zināšanu rezultāts par HPV ar maksimālo vērtību 17 punkti. Datu analīze tika veikta, izmantojot IBM SPSS Version 20 programmu. Spīrmena korelāciju un Kruskal-Wallis testu tika izmantoti turpmākai analīzei. Rezultāti:Ir statistiski nozīmīga tendence, ka vecākiem respondentiem ir augstāks rādītājs (ρ=0,310, p<0,001). Respondentiem kas uzņemti universitātē bija augstāki rādītāji. Augstāko punktu skaitu sasniedza respondenti medicīnas jomā ar vidējo punktu (10±3). Dalībnieku vecāku izglītības statuss neietekmēja.Visaugstākais vērtējums (10±4) bija tiem respondentiem kuri domāja, ka zina pietiekami daudz par tēmu.31% no visiem vīriešu kārtas dalībniekiem nav ieinteresēts uzzināt vairāk par šo slimību. Zināšanas par sekām vīriešiem bija mazākas. Secinājumi:Faktori, kas veicina augstākas zināšanas ir sieviešu dzimums, lielāks vecums, izglītības pakāpe un nodarbošanās joma. Kopumā zināšanas par infekcijas sekām, izņemot sievietēm, bija diezgan zemas. Sieviešu dzimuma vakcinācijas uzņemšana bija lielāka, kā arī interese par infekciju.
Background: The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease worldwide. Cosequences of an infection can be vaginal-, vulval-, cervical-, anal-, penile- and oropharyngeal cancers and warts in the genitoanal area. Factors promoting an infection are intercourse without a condom, a high amount of sexual partners, early first sexual intercourse and smoking. The most important primary prevention is vaccination. Objectives: The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge and awareness of 15-25 year olds about HPV and find influencing factors to create more targeted elucidation in the future. Materials and Methods: A total of 200 participants filled out an anonymous Questionnaire created with Google Forms between November 2021 and February 2022. Areas of assessment were the demographic data of the participants as well as their awareness about transmission, risk factors and consequences of the virus. On this basis a HPV- knowledge score was created with a maximum of 17 points. The analysis was carried out using IBM SPSS Version 20 software. Spearman correlation and Kruskal-Wallis test were used for further analysis. Results:There is a slight statistical significant trend that older responders have a higher score (ρ=0.310, p<0.001). Responders enrolled in a university had higher scores. The highest score was reached by participants in the medical field (10±3). The educational status of participants' parents did not have any influence. Responders who thought that they knew enough about the topic had the highest score (10±4). 31% of all male participants do not have any interest in learning more. Knowledge about male consequences was lower. Conclusion:Factors contributing to a higher knowledge are female gender, older age, grade of education and the field of occupation.Overall knowledge about non-female consequences of the infection was rather low. The vaccination uptake was also higher in the female gender, as well as the interest in the topic.
